I want to make my own group

Ok, as many of you onlookers are painfully aware, I have begun an assault on the premium membership thing.  Not that I do not respect it, as without it this website will not be running, but I just wanted to have a little fun with it. Laughing

But more seriously is the creating a group ability only allowed by premium accounts.  with this I find it difficult to join let alone create my very own Reti online team.  I am obsessed with reti and his opening- just see my games.

I hope that the creating a group function will become available to all users in the future.  When that moment comes, me and my reti dream will be waiting.

You don't have $5? I'm sure it would only take about 1/2 hour to collect $5 in change from bottles or cans, get a silver account, create your group, then cancel your silver membership. Just an idea. :)

well I don't exactly have a credit card- so I do not know how to buy the silver membership.

can I send a check or something? when I went to checkout it asked for a credit card.

but really, can I get the silver account, create the group, then cancel it?  I would still be able to run it and make my dream come true?

if so, I vow to you, the new generation will follow radjabov!

unreal. your in your 20's living in california. you'll probably spent $30 on dinner and movies this weekend. i have ZERO sympathy for you. if you were an 11-year old kid in bangalore then you have something to complain about. unbelievable.

ok erik. I live with my parents.  And I'm not an adult.  So basically, I'm a child and I am NOT ALLOWED to put my real birthday.  You know about the parent "security" and all that.  So unfortunately I'm not a 20 year old guy going out to dinner and movies on the weekend.  I'm just a kid with dreams of becoming a chess master, like all other serious chess players. I'm sorry.

erik

then tell your parents about your dream and i'm sure they will support you for $29 a year. tell them it's either chess, or you'll start hanging out with the wrong crowd :)

they don't like me playing chess :(.  but I think I don't really need the premium membership. this is already as fun as it is.  however, since being a regular member and I can't make a group, can you make my dream group?  it would be called the "reti attack"  and have a big bright picture of richard reti on the front page. I could join and I guess that would be almost the same.

 

thanks.

 

 

p.s.  is there really no t-shirt for the 1000 points thing?  I thought I read somewhere that you said so- maybe the forum was REALLY old. Well, I guess that's alright I still know how to use hte enlgish!

There really is no t-shirt for the 1000 poins thing. What you read was very old, from the beginning days of chess.com.

I mean it wouldn't be too hard to make the reti group- and it sure would make a whole lot of the chess.com members happy!

 

And also: can't I even get a chess.com cup for 1000 points? Do I have anything to dream for with my 48 points?

 

Thanks.Cool
